SNfVSS i A World Gone Mad S0fE thirty-odd years ago "The Man from Man" came down (in a play) to this spheroid of dirt, and didn't like what he saw. We wonder what he would think of the place today t WHEN he came before, although the usual amount of lieing and cheating and double-crossing wag going on, the world waa at peace. Most of the people haa enough to eat and drink, and weren't bothering their neighbors. In fact the main troubles the Man from Mars discovered were internal, so to speak, concerned the selfishness and stu pidity in the home ratber than the viciousness and depravity of the human animal, abroad. But now what a difference "just a few years" make ! e e e a fUR observing Martian would note today that less than 20 years after one world war, the genus homo is doing every thing in his power to start ANOTHER I He would look into the records of that world war, and find the total casualties reached the astounding figure of 37,494,186. nd he would realize every single figure in that total represent id a normal human being, who was just as dear to his family ind friends, to whom life was just as dear, and to whom pain, and disease, suffering and death were just as undesirable, as to the 37,494,185 OTHERS. . . . . DELVING further he would find the cost of the war, aside from human life, virtually incalcuable', reaching figures of such astronomical proportions that even a university 'graduate from Mars could not comprehend them. Instead of in millions the total was in billions. More than, that the war had so dislocated the prevailing social and economic structure, that there had been no normal material well being, since. Precious little security and contentment also. And every intelligent observer on the face of the earth agreed, this world war, and nothing but the world war, had been responsible. A ND yet there, he would see them, the pesky little ants ! dashing to and fro, issuing orders and counter orders, shouting from the rostrums, screaming over the radio; march ing and counter marching, mobilizing here, unlimbering the guns there; not only REPEATING the performance that pre ceded that other holocaust, but LIKING itt I ! Yes indeed, the greatest "big flags flying, bands playing, the stalwart, bright-eyed boys marching, each for the glory of HIS fatherland, each with the blessing of HIS God. Isn't it just thrilling, boys and girls, what's the latest from the front and didn't Johnny look too adorable in his uniform I QADLT the Man from Mars would conclude that on this planet at least, war with all its horrors and sacrifices must, in the final analysis, pay. So he would ask precisely what the world had gained from that other war. The answer, from all sides, would be "NOTHING I" Oh the map had been changed here and there, a few new boundaries decided upon, but instead of settling anything definitely or permanently, instead of really making the world safe for Democraey or anything else, the net result had been the exact reverse. In fact BECAUSE of that war, and the decisions reached by it democracy had not only steadily de clined, but it was to undo some of itsdeeisions that another war now seemed necessary 1 would the Man from Mars conclude t What would " ANYONE, with his detached point of view, his sophisti cation and bis wisdom conclude? There would be only one answer the human beings on this ball of dirt had simply gone raving MAD and he was taking the first air express for home, never to return until at least the world's SANITY had been recovered I Wilson Was Right VTES, the world has gone mad at least the other side of it, and only those who fail to realize what a strong lure war has for the normal, full-blooded human animal, will predict that if a general war really comes this side won't go mad ALSO. Yet what could be more sane, more true, more completely convincing than President Roosevelt's appeal, issued around 3 o'clock this morning, and particularly this conclusion: "I earneatly repeat thai ao long aa negotiation continue, dlfferencaa may ba reconciled. Once they are broken off r.an la banished and force asserts Itself. And FORCE PRODUCES NO SOLUTION for the future good of humanity." True, EVERLASTINGLY true, and almost universally ad mitted to be true, and yet, what good is this plea going to do at this late hour! Here is our prediction : A great deal of good, for those European powers that REALLY desire peaee, for it gives them moral support and an "out", toward peace. It gives them another chance to replace armed force with peaceful mediation. But no good whatever, with those nations (if any) that really desire war and believe the opportune time has come for them to HAVE it. Whyt Because the only way to restrain a nation, or an individual, in THAT frame of mind, is FORCE. 11THAT a difference, if President Roosevelt did not speak today for a nation, thousands of miles away, determined, if it is humanly possible, to keep out of war and particularly another European war, but spoke for a strong vital League of Nations of which his country was a member, and with inter national force behind it I One of the tfrimest ironies of the present situation is the charge that Woodrow Wilson because he favored the formation of Czechoslovakia is in a sense responsible for the tragedy that faces not only Europe but the world. He did favor the formation of Czechoslovakia, but every thing be favored, everything he did, was on the assumption that out of it all would come a world league, based on justice and right, and with sufficient power to maintain them both, and therefore at all times be a determining force for peace. He was eternally right. But apparently the world will have to go through another war, perhaps destroy what is known as civilization itself, before it can SEE it - game sport" of all, WAR!

Europe's Reaction To FDR's Appeal (By the Associated Press) ROME President Roosevelt's appeal to Chancellor Hitler and President Benes for peace received scant at tention In fascist circles. Fascists regarded it as "showing sympathetic Interest In the mainten ance of peace, but seeming to con tribute little to the solution of the Czechoslovak problem." MOSCOW President Roosevelt's peace appeal was welcomed In Soviet circles aa further encouragement to Czechoslovaks to stand up for their rights. At the same time, the communist party newspaper Pravda declared Adolf Hitler's memorandum to Czech oslovakia amounted to a demand for extermination of the Czechoslovak republic. "Chamberlain British prime min ister) has been taught a lesson that concessions only Increase the appetite of aggressors," Pravda said. President Roosevelt's appeal awak ened no enthusiasm In Czechoslovak circles here. BERLIN A foreign office spokes man said nobody In Germany but Chan oe 1 lor Hitler himself could com ment on President Roosevelt's appeal for peace. "We cannot even give you an In timation as to how official Germany reacts to It," the spokesman said. "A few hours before Hitler's own statement to the nation It would be tn the worst possible taste to antici pate him." The German public by noon was not yet aware of the appeal. The official Germany news agency. D.N.B.. carried a brief dispatch from Wash ington, Indicating the president's message was Issued too late for Ber lin's two noon papers. LONDON Premier Daladfcr of Prance, leaving London after momen tous face-to-face councils with Brit ish ministers, gratefully replied to President Roosevelt's appeal for peace. Daladter said: "Your moving appeal reached me in London at the very moment when. In close cooperation with the Brit ish government. Prance makes a supreme attempt with a view to safeguarding all possibility of amic able settlement of the conflict that is threatening. "It is of special value to me that under your high moral authority the devotion of the entire American na tion to the principles which have been recognized and publicly ack nowledged by all parties to the Kel logg pact la now solemnly reaf firmed." WASHINGTON. SenT. 26. API- Great Britain "hailed with gratitude" toaay president Roosevelt's appeal for world peace. The state department, announcing Britain's reply to Mr. Roosevelt's dramatic message, disclosed It con tained a statement from Prime Min ister Neville Chambeilaln he Is mak ing today a "further earnest appeal for settlement by negotiations In which his majesty'0 government would be ready to lend their frond offices." "In thla critical time," Chamber Iain cabled, "It Is Indeed essential to remember what Is at stake and to weigh the Issues with an w.vif.v before embarking on a course from wmcn mere may oe no retreat." begun to receive between 400 and 600 letters a week, all demanding that he stand for the presidency, all telling him to speak out, and calling him the "hope of the country." Since, then the Texas Democratic conven tion has unanimously endorsed him as the state's 1940 candidate, and many or his own beet friends have urged him to make the race. Under such pressure, few men could with stand temptation. Jack Garner Is one of .the few. He may yield, but he won't do so unless mature considera tion of his chances shows that he has a really good bet. It would be wrong to suppose that a reconciliation between the Presi dent and Oamer Is no longer possible. When he took office, he told the President he had two rules that he would never ask for a single appoint ment, and that he would never vol unteer advice to the White House. If the President should go to him for advice, and take it; If he should Indicate that the purge mood Is past. Oarner would let bygones be bygones. He Is that sort of fellow. The trouble Is that the chances are 100 to 1 against the President's doing a n y thing of the sort. That is why It's virtually certain that the "bureau of education' will be the scene of so much horse-trading. The controlling motive of Garn er's political life is the adoration for his party which old-fashioned South erners have. He Is satisfied with the Democratic party as It is today. He d.-esnt want the sort of new-fansled democracy desired by the President And he will work to keep the party as he knows and loves It, tn the Immediate future, he la like ly also to be the behlnd-ecenes lead er of congressional opposition. To those who have urged him to "speak out. he has always answered that he "made his views known where they did the most good" namely amorw the Senators and Representative. He win be doing that aealn when he gets back from hit quiet summer of fish ln. newspaper reading and loaflns among the Uvalde pecan groves While he Is dong It. he will be con sidering hit own chances, and the chances of Bennett Clark, those of Burt Wheeler, and of Jim Fary. And hit eventual d-eisin Is llke'.y to be come a major factor In American pol-ttiot. I The Capital n i- ro.ra.ae (Continued from Page One j Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS QAN FRANCISCO: They have ser (S vice clubs here, Just as in the smaller cities. And for some time the members of the clubs that, meet In the Class A hotels have been pay ing around 1.25 for their luncheons. This Is a trifle steep, and a while back an lnter-club commit We was named to negotiate with the hotels for a reduction in price. The 'In vestigations of this committee brought out some Interesting facts. THE hotels, for example, brought In their books and showed to the committee that under existing con ditions SERVICE ALONE not In cluding food and overhead costs 45 cents for every meal served. That la to say, if you eat a 46 oent club breakfast at a Class A hotel the price you pay covers only the cost of having the meal served to you and the hotel Is out the cost of the food the general overhead, etc. Every large hotel In the city, the committee was told. Is losing money on Its dining rooms. THE committee reported that since the price of luncheons was raised to the present figure service club memberships have dropped nearly one-third. The hotels countered with a bet ter one than that. They pointed out that whereas before the present scale of costs and prices went Into effect one of the largest hotels in the city was serving an average of 4000 meals a day, It Is now serving only 1000 meals a day. That Is what high prices do to business. THE IDLE docks and the ships tied up out In the bay have been mentioned In these chronicles. As to these, ono of the largest shipping men In the city has this to say: "No, that condition Isn't entirely due to labor trouble, although labor trouble Is an Important factor. Nearly every nation In the world, you know, has been trying to live within Itself. That CUTS DOWN1 world commerce. "Then the government has been making changes In Its mail subsidy system and these changes have worked against shipping lines run ning out of San Francisco. Higher operating costs on the ships have turned a lot of business to the rail roads and the trucks. jfVN TOP of that, the cost ol w getting cargo from the docks to the ship's hold haa more than doubled, due to higher wages, shorter hours, restrictive rules, etc. The re sult of ALL of it la that a lot of ships can't be operated, and so have to be tied up." f ERE ta the point: When, because of costs necessi tating prices higher than people are willing to pay, a big hotel drops ; from 4000 meals a day to 1000 meals a day. there Is less work for cooks and waiters to do. When, because of costs necessitat ing shipping rates that are higher than people are willing to pay, plus lack of business due to other causes, ships have to be tied up Instead of being operated there Is less work for sailors, longshoremen and all of those employed by the shipping in dustry to do. Incresalng recognition of this ex ceedingly fundamental fact Is what Is troubling San Francisco. There's a lot of serious thinking going on as to what Is to be done about it. In fact, this writer has never seen San Francisco, which Is normally gay and happy, in quite such a se rious mood.
